| So... my newest obsession is warm growing cymbidiums. I had several bloom for me for the first time this summer and I've been head over heels for them. Until now, I hadn't given them much thought as I wasn't sure I could bloom them. However, with my recent success, I'm energized to try a few more.
My conditions are rather warm, with winter nights falling to around 62 degrees F. I can't let them fall farther as I have grammatophyllums and vandas that would suffer. Also, summers here in TN get VERY hot, and the standard cyms I have tried fared poorly with the 90 to even 100 degree days we sometimes reach. Nonetheless, I still managed to bloom Golden Elf, Dutchman's Gold, madidum and dayanum (though this one never left the sunroom for the summer). I have much to trade, of which this is a part: Bulbophyllum (lepidum x medusae)
I may have more depending on what you have and how badly I want it. Here are the cyms I have so far: Cymbidium aloifolium
I'm especially on the hunt for trade/info on Cymbidiums canaliculatum var. sparkesii, elegans and iridiodes (not even sure I can bloom either, but boy don't they seem awesome?). ~Ethan |

| If you can't find trade, I thought I would let you know...The guy breeding the warm cymbs in flordia sold out to Carter & Holmes, they will continue his breeding & selling warm cymbs. I have to admit...cymbs are my favorite orchid. the intermediates do better than the standard, in our hot weather.~Charm |
